Description
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, social conflicts intensified and people's lives were difficult. Many heroes chose the path of resistance due to unfair treatment and oppression. Many heroes, including Song Jiang, Wu Song, Lin Chong, and others, gathered at Liangshanbo due to their common experiences and goals, forming a powerful resistance force. The heroes of Liangshan engaged in numerous fierce struggles against the corrupt court, including famous battles such as "Strategic Selection of Birthdays" and "Three Attacks on Daming Mansion".
After the grand gathering of Liangshan, Song Jiang led the heroes of Liangshan to accept amnesty and enlistment, and then fought north and south. After pacifying several rebel factions, he was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Wusheng Army. Despite accepting the amnesty and enlistment, many heroes ultimately suffered unfortunate fates due to corruption within the court and the framing of treacherous officials. Upon learning that Song Jiang had been killed, Hua Rong and Lu Junyi hanged themselves in front of Song Jiang's tomb in Liao'erwa outside the south gate of Chuzhou, and their bodies were buried on the left side of Song Jiang's tomb.
